I could see “Blacks See Bias” as an internet meme:

Blacks See Bias on grilled cheese sandwich
Blacks See Bias in astronomical events
Blacks See Bias in water stains on ceiling plaster

Make your own, it’s fun!

I retract if you don’t believe that which apparently you don’t. MLK however was a commie who would be to the left of Obama.

Just in case it is not clear:

FUBO until the sun flames out.

Times ten.

We do know what he would say today because of what he said back then.

So we can apply that logic to all historical figures...?

So the context of several social issues say in the mid 1800's would be the same today ?

Civil rights for blacks, women right to vote, child labor laws to name a few...

Like I said...It's very hard to put people contextually in different time frames and come to conclusions based on the current context...

Many blacks see bias in they type of cereal white people eat. Some people are perpetual whiners and complainers.

That's plain silly...

No doubt MLK today would lean left, but to the left of Obama, that's hard to do...

color of his skin .... NOPE
the communist ideology and anti Constitution ... YEP

radicals just simply refuse to understand or follow the LAW...
the Supreme Court is a co-equal branch that has overstepped its bounds and needs ot be kept in check. Only a STRICT CONSTITUTIONALIST can do that...

Perhaps it wouldn;t be so critical if the “Rinos” would act like REPUBLICANS and exercise their authority and execute their oaths of office.... but they dont.... for whatever reason and thus the system is OUT OF BALANCE..

The executive branch and judicial branch are running amuck... to the detriment of the process and the LAW.

OMG! Those nasty GOP’ies are racist! They gotta cave to save the country from mass rioting.

On the other hand, a little more serious, if a lefty gets in, and a decision comes down to take away private firearm rights, then there will be just a tad bit more than mass rioting to deal with. A whole lot more.

There is a need for someone in the Republican Party to stand up and say “you find everything racist, why should we care?”.

If conservatives cower every time someone yells “racist” we have lost the battle and the war.

Conservatives need to demand that the media ask the follow up question “can you explain in reasonable terms why XYZ is racist?”

Even better, let’s have public debates between the race baiters and leading conservatives.

Popman: this is Post-modernism on display!

Yes!
That is what recording HISTORY is about.

Unless, of course, history began when Popman was born (and not immediately aborted after conception for some “human-advancement” reason...)

GReat video on what is at stake- The Constitution- and the fact that if they roll over it is dishonoring Scalia

From Charles CW Cooke

The political fight is why we have three branches of government. Fracturing Power was the goal.

We will continue to have problems in this country so long as people see themselves as “Blacks” or “African Americans” instead of Americans Of African Descent.

“Did Blacks See Bias in Delay on Clarence Thomas?”

Or Janice Rogers Brown?

Those in the “justice warrior” community see “bias” in the color of freshly fallen snow. It’s their job to whine.

No, just pointing out issues must be taken in context... no radical pluralism postulated here

Simply the various issues, whatever they are, must be taken in the contextual framework of when they happened to be better understood....

As an example: The NT Bible has many confusing and sometimes contradictory passages...

Most can be fully explained when put in the context of the culture and society of that day... like the ' eye of a needle' Jesus quote...

That is what recording HISTORY is about.

You and I both know HISTORY is predicated on who writes it...

Cue up riots in the streets if a swarthy leftist nominee is not immediately confirmed.

THAT is the very definition of post-modernism.
